The States of Matter A solid has a fixed shape and volume. Solids may be hard or soft, rigid or flexible. A liquid has a varying shape that conforms to the shape of the container, but a fixed volume. A liquid has an upper surface. A gas has no fixed shape or volume and therefore does not have a surface. 1 -6

Sample Problem 1. 1 Visualizing Change on the Atomic Scale PROBLEM: The scenes below

Sample Problem 1. 1 Visualizing Change on the Atomic Scale PROBLEM: The scenes below represent an atomic-scale view of substance A undergoing two different changes. Decide whether each scene shows a physical or a chemical change. PLAN: 1 -10 We need to determine what change is taking place. The numbers and colors of the little spheres that represent each particle tell its “composition”. If the composition does not change, the change is physical, whereas a chemical change results in a change of composition.

Sample Problem 1. 1 SOLUTION: Each particle of substance A is composed of one

Sample Problem 1. 1 SOLUTION: Each particle of substance A is composed of one blue and two red spheres. Sample B is composed of two different types of particles – some have two red spheres while some have one red and one blue. As A changes to B, the chemical composition has changed. A B is a chemical change. 1 -11

Sample Problem 1. 1 Each particle of C is still composed of one blue

Sample Problem 1. 1 Each particle of C is still composed of one blue and two red spheres, but the particles are closer together and are more organized. The composition remains unchanged, but the physical form is different. A C is a physical change. 1 -12

Temperature and Change of State • A change of state is a physical change.

Temperature and Change of State • A change of state is a physical change. – Physical form changes, composition does not. • Changes in physical state are reversible – by changing the temperature. • A chemical change cannot simply be reversed by a change in temperature. 1 -13

Energy Changes Lower energy states are more stable and are favored over higher energy

Energy Changes Lower energy states are more stable and are favored over higher energy states. Energy is neither created nor destroyed – it is conserved – and can be converted from one form to another. 1 -18

Sample Problem 1. 3 Converting Units of Length PROBLEM: To wire your stereo equipment, you need 325 centimeters (cm) of speaker wire that sells for $0. 15/ft. What is the price of the wire? PLAN: We know the length (in cm) of wire and cost per length ($/ft). We have to convert cm to inches and inches to feet. Then we can find the cost for the length in feet. Length (cm) of wire 2. 54 cm = 1 in Length (in) of wire 12 in = 1 ft Length (ft) of wire 1 ft = $0. 15 Cost ($) of wire 1 -34

Sample Problem 1. 3 SOLUTION: Length (in) = length (cm) x conversion factor 1

Sample Problem 1. 3 SOLUTION: Length (in) = length (cm) x conversion factor 1 in = 325 cm x = 128 in 2. 54 cm Length (ft) = length (in) x conversion factor = 128 in x 1 ft = 10. 7 ft 12 in Price ($) = length (ft) x conversion factor = 10. 7 ft x 1 -35 $ 0. 15 1 ft = $ 1. 60

Sample Problem 1. 4 Converting Units of Volume PROBLEM: A graduated cylinder contains 19. 9 m. L of water. When a small piece of galena, an ore of lead, is added, it sinks and the volume increases to 24. 5 m. L. What is the volume of the piece of galena in cm 3 and in L? PLAN: The volume of the galena is equal to the difference in the volume of the water before and after the addition. Volume (m. L) before and after subtract Volume (m. L) of galena 1 m. L = 1 cm 3 Volume (cm 3) of galena 1 -36 1 m. L = 10 -3 L Volume (L) of galena

Sample Problem 1. 5 Converting Units of Mass PROBLEM: Many international computer communications are carried out by optical fibers in cables laid along the ocean floor. If one strand of optical fiber weighs 1. 19 x 10 -3 lb/m, what is the mass (in kg) of a cable made of six strands of optical fiber, each long enough to link New York and Paris (a distance of 8. 94 x 103 km)? PLAN: The sequence of steps may vary but essentially we need to find the length of the entire cable and convert it to mass. Length (km) of fiber 1 km = 103 m Length (m) of fiber 1 m = 1. 19 x 10 -3 lb Mass (lb) of fiber 6 fibers = 1 cable Mass (lb) of cable 1 -38 2. 205 lb = 1 kg Mass (kg) of cable

Sample Problem 1. 6 Converting Units Raised to a Power PROBLEM: A furniture factory

Sample Problem 1. 6 Converting Units Raised to a Power PROBLEM: A furniture factory needs 31. 5 ft 2 of fabric to upholster one chair. Its Dutch supplier sends the fabric in bolts that hold exactly 200 m 2. How many chairs can be upholstered with three bolts of fabric? PLAN: We know the amount of fabric in one bolt in m 2; multiplying the m 2 of fabric by the number of bolts gives the total amount of fabric available in m 2. We convert the amount of fabric from m 2 to ft 2 and use the conversion factor 31. 5 ft 2 of fabric = 1 chair to find the number of chairs (see the road map). 1 -40

Sample Problem 1. 6 SOLUTION: Converting from number of bolts to amount of fabric

Sample Problem 1. 6 SOLUTION: Converting from number of bolts to amount of fabric in m 2: 200 m 2 Amount (m 2) of fabric = 3 bolts x = 600 m 2 1 bolt Converting the amount of fabric from m 2 to ft 2: Since 0. 3048 m = 1 ft, we have (0. 3048)2 m 2 = (1)2 ft 2, so Amount (ft 2) of fabric = 600 m 2 x 1 ft 2 (0. 3048)2 m 2 = 6460 ft 2 Finding the number of chairs: Number of chairs = 6460 1 -42 ft 2 x 1 chair 31. 5 ft 2 = 205 chairs

A slab of lithium weighs 1. 49 x 103 mg and has sides that are 20. 9 mm by 11. 1 mm by 11. 9 mm. Find the density of lithium in g/cm 3. PLAN: Density is expressed in g/cm 3 so we need the mass in g and the volume in cm 3. Lengths (mm) of sides 10 mm = 1 cm Mass (mg) of Li Lengths (cm) of sides 103 mg = 1 g multiply lengths Mass (g) of Li Volume (cm 3) divide mass by volume Density (g/cm 3) of Li 1 -45

Temperature Scales Kelvin ( K ) – The “absolute temperature scale” begins at absolute zero and has only positive values. Note that the kelvin is not used with the degree sign (°). Celsius ( o. C ) – The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water. This is the temperature scale used most commonly around the world. The Celsius and Kelvin scales use the same size degree although their starting points differ. Fahrenheit ( o. F ) – The Fahrenheit scale is commonly used in the U. S.

Precision, Accuracy, and Error Precision refers to how close the measurements in a series

Precision, Accuracy, and Error Precision refers to how close the measurements in a series are to each other. Accuracy refers to how close each measurement is to the actual value. Systematic error produces values that are either all higher or all lower than the actual value. This error is part of the experimental system. Random error produces values that are both higher and lower than the actual value. 1 -67
